From the race’s inauguration in 1978, all the way up to 2024, we have a comprehensive list of Gloaming Stakes winners from past race meets.

Included are finishing times, jockey and weights carried to victory by the winners of the Group 3 Gloaming Stakes race that offers the winner a ballot exemption into the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000m).

Shadow Hero (2019) and Sharp ‘N’ Smart (2022) are the latest Gloaming Stakes winners to go on and take out the Spring Champion Stakes as a three-year-olds.

Constant Flight (1992) is the sole Gloaming Stakes winning filly to date.

Retrieve holds the current 1800m Gloaming Stakes race record winning in 2010 in a time of 1 minute 48:2 seconds.

In 2017 Ace High completed the Gloaming Stakes – Spring Champion Stakes – VRC Derby treble.

Some of the other notable Gloaming Stakes winners throughout history include Kingston Town (1979) who went on to win three Cox Plates during his career, Tie The Knot (1997), dual Cox Plate hero So You Think (2009), It’s A Dundeel (2012), and Shadow Hero (2019).

The 2022 Gloaming Stakes winner was the New Zealand raider Sharp ‘N’ Smart who saluted for the punters as the $2.70 favourite over the Warwick Farm mile on the rescheduled race traditionally run over 1800m the Saturday prior at Randwick.

The 2023 Gloaming Stakes winner was the progressive Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained colt Raf Attack ($8.50) who held on after sitting in the lead throughout to deny the fast-finishing favourite Tom Kitten in a thrillingly close result.

The 2024 Gloaming Stakes winner was the in-form Anthony Cummings-trained El Castello ($6.50) who was huge late charging home to salute by nearly two lengths off a good Josh Parr ride ahead of the Spring Champion Stakes at Group 1 level on October 26.
